 Post subject: [Help] Spaceship internal tiles/defisgn help.
PostPosted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 2:23 pm 
Hello, im thinking of starting a campaign set inside a fleet of spaceships and i am having trouble coming up with maps for it. I am wondering if there are tile sets or a software that will help me map out the internal of the ships. The campaign wont really include flying spaceships and the like, so the only external maps ill want are a general map of the fleet, and the course the fleet is taking (both of which will both just probably just be still be still images).
I have been having trouble finding tilesets or some software that will help me create the maps for the campaign. If someone could point me in the right direction i would be very greatfull.
Many thanks in advance,
-hipnotode.

I'm pretty sure rpgmapshare.com has some sci-fi tiles, as does the CSUAC.

The only software I've ever found that came with symbols, templates, etc. to make starships is the Cosmographer add-on for Campaign Cartographer 3.

Note that Cosmo won't work by itself as it is an add-on. It does come with some sample starships, big and small, and info on how to draw new ones. I used it here: http://star.drivein-jim.net/

Many of us who own Profrantasy's software hangout in their forums. http://forum.profantasy.com/

Go visit dundjinni.com and look at their forums. There is a user by the name of probono, who is currently making many space ship tiles so that you can create your own ship very easily.

In their forums their admin actually created a separate TILES category due to the popularity increase. (I think they named it tiles)
